STRANGE FRUITS

Gallery 109 & Anthony R. Abraham Family Gallery

This exhibition gathers a selection of recent work by Marielle Plaisir, a multimedia artist based in Miami, Florida. Working across various disciplines, from painting to drawing, to sculpture, to fashion and performance, Plaisir creates intense visual experiences that explore her French-Caribbean heritage against the backdrop of Postcolonialism. She addresses prejudice through the lens of body politics and identifies moments of struggle and social control over the Black body. In her works, she carefully dissects control systems to present us with new, freeing, and empowering realities and counternarratives.
